Instead, Xi has proven to be a hardliner whose indefinite rule began this past month, unforeseen a decade ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To mark Xi\u2019s decade in charge, ICT is publishing a new report, \u201c10 Years of Xi Jinping: Sinification and Securitization of Tibetans for the Chinese Nation-State.\u201d In this Tibet Talk, we\u2019ll speak to the report\u2019s author, ICT Research Analyst Tenzin Norgay, about Xi\u2019s impact on Tibet and what the future holds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/904880157396437\/?ref=newsfeed\" target=\"_blank\">TIBET TALKS: 10 YEARS OF XI JINPING | Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

When you register for one event, you will automatically be registered for upcoming gatherings as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Power Hours for Palestine: Take Action for 30 Min with JVP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that U.S. support for Israel crosses party lines. But the coming weeks promise a veritable cross-aisle parade of high-power politicians traveling from D.C. to celebrate the &#8220;ironclad&#8221; relationship with Israel. Right now, House Minority Leader&nbsp;<strong>Hakeem Jeffries<\/strong>&nbsp;is leading a delegation. Next week, House Speaker&nbsp;<strong>Kevin McCarthy<\/strong>&nbsp;will lead&nbsp;<em>another<\/em>&nbsp;delegation. And Florida governor and Republican presidential hopeful&nbsp;<strong>Ron DeSantis<\/strong>&nbsp;will be heading over later this week as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The timing of these trips is no coincidence. This week marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the state of Israel, and its heavily nationalistic Independence Day and Memorial Day celebrations. It is also, of course, the 75th anniversary of the Nakba \u2014 but a discussion of Palestinians\u2019 ongoing state of catastrophe and ethnic cleansing at the hands of the Israeli government is not expected to be on any of the delegates\u2019 agendas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what is the purpose of these visits?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeffries\u2019 office said, \u201cWhile in Israel, we will meet with a number of stakeholders about Israel\u2019s unique challenges within the region and discuss our efforts to maintain and&nbsp;<strong>strengthen the special relationship between our nations<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McCarthy has&nbsp;<strong>brag-Tweeted that he will be the second Speaker of the House in history to address the Knesset<\/strong>, in commemoration of Israel\u2019s 75th year of statehood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DeSantis<\/strong>&nbsp;will meet with Trump-buddy Netanyahu to deliver a keynote at a trade conference co-sponsored, deeply ironically, by the Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem. He\u2019ll speak about \u201c<strong>the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship \u2013 especially in difficult times<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDifficult times\u201d may allude to the recent massive protests in Israel over Netanyahu\u2019s proposed judicial overhaul. But, despite the mildest of rebukes from the Biden administration, these visits make clear that Washington is as committed as ever to its uncharacteristic display of bipartisan solidarity \u2014 over unconditional support for Israel\u2019s apartheid regime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&nbsp; See Event # 7<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info from Jewish Voice For Peace<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.

On the anniversary of the signing of the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA), BAYAN NorCal continues the call to JUNK EDCA and all other forms of unequal military agreements! Additionally, Bongbong Marcos Jr. will be holding a bilateral meeting with U.S. President Biden on May 1st, which we recognize as yet another attempt to strengthen the relationship between this imperialist power and its puppet regime.
